My Name is Kamika Crawford I graduated from pershing high school this year 2024. I was only There for a Year due to me moving around in my life .The environment of pershing high school is getting better the administration. Any problems I had were with my peers. The administration took care of it .Most teachers were decent Some cared some didn't . The sports were incredible. The coaches care about them and the sports really brought the school together. They have many after school activists . My experience at pershing high school was decent. The challenges I faced were more with the teachers on how organized they would be.
